1. Definition of a plant-based diet - A plant-based diet consists of all minimally processed fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, herbs, and spices and excludes all animal products, including red meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy products.

If a plant is processed more than harvesting, cutting, packaging it no longer meets the definition of plant based.

According to these definitions of processed vs ultra-processed, you’re describing ultra-processed foods not plant based.
